The house was exactly how it was advertised. We had a school group there focused on a local competition -- plenty of room to spread out, decompress with TVs, games, space to practice parts.Clean, manager EXCEPTIONAL about communication. Close to Des Moines downtown, Drake University, etc. Literally it was a PERFECT experience for my students, visiting parent, and myself. Would book here again 10/10.

Property is as described by owners. We found that everything we needed was provided in the house. As stated in the description, it is beside an apartment complex. We had access to the indoor and outdoor pools. The kids didn't want to use the indoor because of the bugs around it and in the water. They did enoy the outdoor pool. Several times cars came into the area in front of the house that turned out to be food deliveries for the apartments. The first time it was a weird surprise, but once we figured out what it was, no big deal. There was plenty to entertain the grandkids. My 3 children, their families and I enjoyed the comfort of gathering and having space to spread out.

The place was great for our family Christmas. Plenty of beds and all were comfortable. The teens loved the game area and having their bedroom there was perfect. We cooked all meals there and had plenty of kitchen supplies to use. Very well stocked for anything we needed. We even utilized the pool that was available- it was warm and comfortable even in the cold weather.

We had a great family weekend in Des Moines. The house is fantastic for a large group. Nice kitchen, dining and living areas. Plenty of bedrooms and nice bathrooms. The game room in the basement was super fun! Everyone had plenty of space and a great time! When we arrived the front door was open and two men were in the entryway with large equipment. They seem to have been repairing the kitchen floor. That was odd, and awkward, but it seemed fine. There was a layer of dust on every surface from whatever work they had been doing, both in the kitchen/living room and the basement, but other than that the space was clean. I would stay there again. It was ideal for a family weekend.
